I posted this to a list of mobile/social/geo entrepreneurs.
Let’s say (hypothetically, of course) I’m starting to develop a brand new mobile application/service today, January 31, 2010.
I’m gonna want it to run on iPhone first, and eventually Android. Maybe even Blackberry and WebOS someday. Possibly even Symbian. Possibly.
So I start by reading…
…and then look at some iPhone-specific help…
…and then I scratch my head:
1) Is PhoneGap flexible enough that I can feel good betting my company on it? Or should I just start by building my iPhone app natively and THEN figure out what to do once I want to be more than iPhone/iPad?
2) Will I want to throw PhoneGap out 3-6 months from now because of its own limitations?
3) Will Apple stay consistent in its belief that it approves of PhoneGap?
I’ve added this as a question on Quora as well.
